SuperNova 0 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Cooper Bateman QB from Cottonwood HS (Salt Lake City, UT) Ht: 6-3 Wt: 205 Scouts -> Bateman has one of the biggest arms in the country, and will wow you with his arm strength. He can really drive the ball down the field and shows the live arm you love to see but can also throw with touch as well. Throws a great deep ball with timing and accuracy and also does a nice job getting outside the pocket and throwing on the run. He’s a shotgun guy but shows excellent feet and won’t have a problem getting under center in college-Biggins. -- http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73&p=8&c=1&nid=5650475 Looks like he has an Auburn offer, anyone have any info???

Orange and Blue 17211345162833 0 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Bateman was ecstatic about the turds offer a few weeks ago. By his comments it appears that the turds may be leading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but it sounds like we are recruiting him harder. Anybody's game right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he enjoys his visit today, dude is forreal! Yeah he's probably got the 2nd or 3rd biggest arm on the West coast. Cannon, for sure. He'll likely need a RS year wherever he goes, but that doesn't mean he isn't an elite player. He's just not used to doing what he'll have to do in a pro-style offense. Very simple reads in his offense in HS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elephant Tipper 430 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Per BM: "4-star QB Cooper Bateman from Cottonwood in Salt Lake City, Utah, is planning to visit Auburn this week. He's scheduled to arrive Tuesday night and stay through Wednesday. Bateman is rated the nation's No. 6 pro-style QB by 247Sports and has close to 20 offers including one from Auburn."

pologuy24 0 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 From TOS! Cooper Bateman quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “This place was awesome,†Bateman said. “I’ve been (at the Auburn athletic complex) since a little bit before 7:00 this morning sitting through meetings. Coach Loeffler, the offensive staff, it was awesome. I got to see the campus. I got to see everything Auburn offers. It was an experience, no doubt.†-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bateman, 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds, said he’s spoken with Auburn offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler over the phone more than any other college coach. He was thrilled to finally meet him in-person. “Words only go so far. Meeting him in person was awesome,†Bateman said. “I’m glad I got that opportunity and I’m glad I got to sit through his meetings.†Bateman was also able to see Loeffler in action at Wednesday morning’s practice. “The way he carries himself, I love it,†he said. “He’s a high energy guy. Seeing him out on the practice field, he lets you know where you stand, what you did wrong. He will get in your face but at the same time, he’ll tell you what you did right. I love that about him.†-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmccullough 0 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 He seemed to be impressed by the physical presence, athletism and throwing ability of Pike. He says that is who he would probably be competing against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I love the fact that our staff can bring kids from anywhere in the country for a visit and they are always blown away by the coaches and the facility. We won't always get this kids from across the country but it's nice to know how well AU compares with any school....anywhere. JJ, Chiz, et al.....deserve credit for making AU a "destination" visit for nationally rated HS kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

api1957 1,783 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'm pretty sure we have our QB for the next 3 years. Not saying he wouldn't be a welcome addition but we don't "need" him per say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperNova 0 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 I would think that you would want 1 quality QB per-year. And CB is a quality QB and might just be the #1 QB by the end of his senior season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednilla 5,449 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Sounded to me like Olsen is more likely, and to be honest I like him better than Bateman anyway. Bateman is probably the more physically gifted of the two, but I think Olsen is a much better QB, and I think his savvy as a signal caller will translate better to the college game. It's not that I would be disappointed with Bateman, it's just that, in my mind, if Rettig recovers, we take him, and if not then we take Olsen. To be completely honest, considering that attrition is looking to take its toll already, I'm guessing we are definitely going to get up to the 20-22 range for open schollys, and in that case we might well take two...which means maybe we take Rettig and Olsen. It would make a certain sense. Olsen might well turn out to be the better of the two even if Rettig is healthy (though Rettig undeniably has superior arm strength), and it would give Loeffler two of his own recruits to work with behind Kiehl and Zeke. But we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do, but we kinda do need at least one QB this year. As much potential as Zeke has, he is still a project, and he was recruited to run a different style of offense. That's not to say he isn't talented enough to adapt, only that you need depth, especially if the backup is untested. But not to worry. There are at least four highly rated QBs that I feel pretty confident will be Tigers if the coaches decide we want them to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
